Other details... The crank was a Bill Norman Deep Little N - Chartruse with a blue back. Both the crank fish were on points. All the trout fish were on flats.

Oh yeah, Pete (of Wilderness Outfitters). The new St. Crois rod works great for throwing the slammer. The only problem I had was that the Coriolis real doesn't hold anough 25 lb green P-line. After adjusting to the new rod, I was casting the slammer to the end of the line. The rod was a bit stiff for the 9" Castaic swimbait which is one heavy lure. I suspect it will be OK for that after I get more used to the rod's action, but it rocks for the slammer.

I hit the shop on Sunday and grabbed the Super Free Curado for the medium action rom the Coriolis came off. Also spooled the Coriolis with 20# blue P-Line, so I should be able to get a little more distance next time and still have line left for fighting the big slammer fish that I'm overdue to catch ;-)
